— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
I am a scientific illustrator. I have an Instagram account with all the plants and flowers I usually draw.

— An issue or cause you are passionate about:
I feel really passionate about the land – ecosystem in my region. I am always trying to create content about protecting the land and the traditions. The care of the endemic natural and plant systems, water, and the ecosystem. It’s really important to me, so I am very focused on this now.

— What are three interesting facts about you?
1. I have a great auditive memory, which means that I can recognize people, places, or situations just by listening. I am a foley artist, and I have my own studio.
2. I am really good at walking in nature, and I never feel tired; it energizes me a lot, actually. So, I really love to be outside, drawing plants and bugs.
3. I have a really flexible voice, so I can recreate other people’s voices, lol. I would like to be the voice of a children’s movie or something like that.
